LYRICS: 

They sleep on me 
Throw the peace at me
Shows they don't want a piece 
Of me
Least of which
What they see in me
Then blows in their face
Like tnt
A creeper?
Nah, it's jay
Back with
Another sleeper
I'm here
To sound the alarm
With this voice
over
Your speaker
I'm a technical 
Mac pro
With the retro-spec
Of a beeper
Despite the sum of my parts
I still continue you to tinker
I'm like the smell of skunk
When it gets on you
It will linger
If you want whiff
Of the funk
Then, take a pull of my finger
10 toes 
on fo fo's
Cause I'm so
Over the violence 
In a way 
that the Lord knows
I can only bury
In silence 
These wangster 
Gangster
Pretenders
From labels
That propose
The Glorifying
Of shooting in anger
To dispose
The current state
Of our populace
Is their anybody
Whose watching this?
It's nothing short
Of miraculous 
How we all turning our back
To this
Playing a major role
Until we all B-Flat
But D-major key
I don't get
Is that we don't C that

Holy crap
Guess I was holding back
Now I'm on the attack
To be the last one
Standing

Try to track 
You'll need an almanac
To get to where I'm at
I'll be the last one 
standing

Are you actually reading my rhymes?
Or you just skim through it?
Did you listen for 30 seconds?
Or pretend to do it?
But then want to get in my dm's
Tell me
play your music
And you don't 
Suspect a reason 
Why I wouldn't do it?
Sometimes I lose 
my composure
And maybe lose my shit
When get a little exposure 
And they critic one bit
It's not the fact that they said it
It's that they don't have hits
When nothing They said
Written 
In their feedback
Sticks
You just wrote
"This albums mid"
But I'm the prick
You resort Sabatoging 
Thinking you'll get clicks
Probably say my music corny
Cause I don't say Blick
Or mad
Cause their no gunshots
And I don't flip bricks
You bugging 
more buggy 
Than bugs bunny
That hole you digging
Hilarious 
You must be doug(dug) funny
So many kats
Wanna copy 
So bad that it hurts
But end up in hertz 
A printed out
Image on shirts 

Holy crap
Guess I was holding back
Now I'm on the attack
To be the last one
Standing

Try to track 
You'll need an almanac
To get to where I'm at
I'll be the last one 
standing


Last Man Standing

I follow a big path
The bouncers
I slipped past
I was never a first choice
I've always been picked last
They dash pass me laughing 
Hope passing
Grasping
Any and everything 
To keep from collapsing
(But now I)
Found my voice
Lord steering the course 
Knock them off 
Of they're horse
I feel the power
Flow through my
Pores
Pulling right from the source 
Resurgence 
That's been opening doors
The jackals before
I can hardly
Hear them 
Cackle 
No more

Step 1) all I got to is pray
Step 2) Lord I got faith in you
Step 3) just have to wait and see
Step 4) watch as it opens a door
Step 5) now you going watch me rise
Step 6) The moment building brick by brick
Step 7) Real time, seeing it then
Step 8) Give thanks, and we do it again

Sure as the time goes
I've entered no fly zones
I've been different positions 
That be having these minds
Blown
The weird 
Is where I operate 
Supernaturally grown
Only place that I find home
Is when I'm in the unknown 
There's a force 
That is guiding
It will not leave me alone
It be turning water
To crystal
And turning cotton
To stone
There's unbelievable feats
Inside my life 
That have shown
Threats
And spiritual pressure
From evil 
On tombstones
Belittle
Try to Berate me
Never taking the cake see
I'm Always cooking 
And baking
On something else 
To create
A new aroma 
You smell it
It's something different 
Can tell it
Despite the difference 
You felt it
It's gold refining 
And smelted 
It's 
Two things
That conjoined in one
8 steps 
Is not plan 
It's how my life
Is summed
I was taking L's from before
And now I'm taking none
Any challenge 
I gladly welcome
Come and get you some

Step 1) all I got to is pray
Step 2) Lord I got faith in you
Step 3) just have to wait and see
Step 4) watch as it opens a door
Step 5) now you going watch me rise
Step 6) The moment building brick by brick
Step 7) Real time, seeing it then
Step 8) Give thanks, and we do it again

Peep The lyrical mastery
gift he's given me massively 
It doesn't operate casually 
I got to handle it masterfully 
If I don't use it in earnest
Then it's guaranteed 
It will master me
All who listening 
Casualties
If I don't rap 
With my faculties 
(Geeezzz)
Ease up
Don't get carried away
Didn't go through
hardships
And lessons
To get buried today
Made a covenant 
With all of my soul
And I can faithfully say
It has serve me
To fill this role
Till all my hair
Turn to gray
Once the truth
Got revealed 
I Unraveled 
Unpacked
Then he put the pieces
Together
I ain't never look back
All the weapons
 that formed against me
He thwarted every attack
They were blasting 
Heavy machinery
We blast them off
Mac
Cannon
I'm back handing
Every obstacle
Non standing
The tri-force
When pierce your heart
Your done
Ganon 
No wasted shots
When I finally throw them
They're all landing
If you don't know him
I'll gladly show them
An understanding 

Step 1) all I got to is pray
Step 2) Lord I got faith in you
Step 3) just have to wait and see
Step 4) watch as it opens a door
Step 5) now you going watch me rise

Step 7) Real time, seeing it then
Step 8) Give thanks, and we do it again

8steps

Long as the Lord
Guides my steps
I can
If you needed a good kick
Then I am your man
You been down in the dumps
Sinking quick
In sand
Take a hold of my hand
Cause that's not God's plan
If we're beating the odds 
Need to take that stand
Looking for an example
Then here I am
I got back on the good foot
And then I ran
If my destiny's challenged 
Then that's on brand
There's some 
times You will 
endure the pain
I under
Stand the fear
But here's the claim
The clouds are really temporary 
So's The rain
You need to give it all you got
The best you can
So watch as I profess that thang
In Jesus name
Even if I have to 
go through hell
To see the change
I know that line I said
At first
Is seeming strange
But know that I been 
through the worst
Survived the flames
means If I fall now
(Then that's on me)
If I turn and I quit now
(Then I won't see)
All the battles I fought now
(Will mean nothing)
I ain't trying to drown now
(In misery)
You can keep All your false thrones
(Your not my king)
There's a call that I've answered
(Hope that line rings)
All the spirit in my veins
(A fight I bring)
From the front to the back now
(Let's hear you sing)

I'm not gonna quit now
Til I'm on top
There's a place
That I've reached for
I need that spot
And we're never gonna 
Fake it 
To make it
But we're never gonna 
Stop 
Till we've made it

Nah nah

For anyone
Who thinks there in this
All alone
Or thinks nobody 
Gives a damn
Just know you're wrong
The thoughts 
The very reason
Why I wrote the song
There's someone who
Believes in you
Despite the zone
Everything that you went through
(Was not in vain) 
In the eye of the storm, now
(That hurricane)
From the top of your lungs now
(Scream Yes, I can)
Get that thunder to come down
(Let your light reign)
And we shaking the whole ground
(To break this chain)
When they hearing 
Our war sound 
(They'll do the same)
Any giant that wants smoke
(Can all get slain)
Any walls 
We gone tear down
(They can't contain)
(Switch)
Put that mental 
back in
Beast mode
Get on it
Turn around 
Until you face
Your opponent 
Confidence will help you
Own it
This moment
Success is something
That you
Earn
The component is

I'm not gonna quit now
Til I'm on top
There's a place
That I've reached for
I need that spot
And we're never gonna 
Fake it 
To make it
But we're never gonna 
Stop 
Till we've made it

Nah nah

This one's 
for the people picked last
Studying in the class
And pushing until they pass 
This one's 
For my people in slums
More than sterotypes
Drugs, money, and guns
If you ever been written off
Feeling a little lost
Fumbling round in the sauce
And your tired of getting tossed
Around
And feeling down
Your head towards the ground
This your time
To finally shine
And rise 
Cause now you found
The strength
come on
Get them hands up
Need you to get off your ass
Come on and proudly 
Stand up
Ain't got not time
For the begging and pleading
Your still in this
If your here and your breathing 
I wrote this song
For the day 1's 
That paid their dues
Walking more than a mile
The same damn shoes
That's been pushing
their own brand
Without no views
That's been making 
An impact 
That's not on news

And we're not gonna quit now
Til we're on top
There's a place
That we've reached for
We need that spot
And we're never gonna 
Fake it 
To make it
But we're never gonna 
Stop 
Till we've made it

Nah nah

Made to make it

MADE TO MAKE IT

Bet it all
Bet it all

Stage light
Then I hit the scene
(Come on)
Fix frame
Check the jacket sheen
(When the)
Name shows
On your T.V. screen
(Then it's)
Game time
The adrenaline 
Yo
Get's me pumped
Like air maxes
It's all gas
Push to start
Like fast passes
Wine pressed 
Swish
That's a vintage sound
I'm the vinyl 
On the record
Here's some real background 

You can put the game on Son
Bet it all on me tonight
Bet it all on me tonight
Tonight
That's right
Tonight
Alright (x2

Fix my lace
And I check my pace
(Cause it's a)
Marathon 
I set the race 
(I got a)
Keep the drive
And while I watch my place
(Cause if I)
Charge too fast
Then It's last I'll face
(So check it)
I ain't cutting it 
Hitting the bear 
Minimum 
There's no interim 
Need a path
I'll crash
Into one
(Yeah, it's Nothing)
Nothing 
I ain't done before
Peep The score
More points
On the leader board
(I'm betting)
Whether 
10 years or 10 days
I'm a stirve
So my music
Get more than these 10 plays
I would die 
Before I give up
I follow the template 
You blocking the damn gate
I'll break in eventually 
(I get it)
I'm really not 
What you expect 
But I'll earn the respect
Standing 
With your favorite vet
To these sucker's
I'm garlic proof
You ain't getting my neck
they try to reject 
My entry
Butterfly
In effect

You can put the game on Son
Bet it all on me tonight
Bet it all on me tonight
Tonight
That's right
Tonight
Alright (x2

To those haters
Who say I wasn't 
Don't do the way
I does it
But doesn't the way I did it
Admit in a way
It was it
But the fact
That they won't admit it
Admits that they did 
Because it
Okay now 
I'm messing with you 
Let's get right back
To the subject
I'm cruising 
And coasting
They hurting 
And roasting 
I was grinding
And posting
They were
Bragging 
And boasting 
(With a)
Pick me 
Mentality 
That led casually 
To what proved 
A fatality
Cause
While I love it
I don't do this for me
But for the Lord
family
And the people to see
You can follow in your purpose
God led you to see
No compromising 
paying any spiritual fee
(Mark 8:36)
what profits a man
To gain the world
But lose his own soul
Submitting control
(To the)
Pain and loss
To double your net worth
But what is that net worth?
If it's never gone net worth

You can put the game on Son
Bet it all on me tonight
Bet it all on me tonight
Tonight
That's right
Tonight
Alright (x2

You can put the game on Son
Bet it all on me tonight
Bet it all on me tonight
Tonight
That's right
Tonight
Alright (x2




BET IT ALL

Kick it off..
Ooohhh
Don't wanna be trapped no more 
Don't wanna be trapped no more
Dont wanna be
Be Trapped no more
Trapped no more
Trapped no more

(Jay jay jay jay)
Crossing all of these whitelines
Angel on my shoulder 
started throwing the peace sign
Still employed some demons
I was outta
My right mind
But it's hard to terminate 
They're apart my design
Come to find
(I undoubtedly)
In the way of myself
Consistently 
Try to blame it on
Everything I see
I been trapped in my mind
Subconsciously 
So don't cry for me
I don't have be
There's no apathy
Cause quite possibly 
If I tossed aside
All my ties to pride
Then I won't reside
In a bed of lies
Cause the truth abides 
Way beyond the eyes
If I break disguise
I would realize 
That my own demise 
Not what I surmise 
That it just comprise 
Of my own devise 
(Yo yo yo yo)
Change the pivot 
Offense coming 
I give it
Take the shot 
Risk it all
It's not metaphoric 
I lived it
This is not a gimmck
For clout
It's my story 
Measured by minute
Confessing now 
With my spirit
To anybody who hear it
(I don't claim to be)
Anybody 
More sanctified then he
I just know to progress
I have to see
That the problem 
Begins and ends with me

Don't wanna be trapped) dont wanna be trapped no more
Don't wanna be trapped) don't trapped no morex4
Dont wanna be
Be Trapped no more
Trapped no more
Trapped no more

Go go go go
To another place 
Where I'll actually grow
(No no no no)
There it is 
The beast
Now it finally shows
(Don't don't don't) 
Coming for my peace
So I face to oppose 
(Won't won't won't) 
You don't have a choice 
Leave or we throwing blows
(Get away get away)
away from thee
I've succumb 
to a better part of me
That was dying to break 
Eventually 
I just needed a chance to set it free
Wicked
Spirit's evicted
I Was addicted 
Restricted 
From what inflicted
I felt Sadistic 
Conflicted 
By actions I picked 
They contradicted 
Depicted
The wounds descripted
Were self inflicted
(For me)
Quite honestly 
I was stuck in a zone
Alone
 the key
Had to switch up
My whole mentality 
Or would suffer a fate
More fatally 

Don't wanna be trapped) dont wanna be trapped no more
Don't wanna be trapped) don't trapped no morex4
Dont wanna be
Be Trapped no more
Trapped no more
Trapped no more



TRAPPED NO MORE

As I reflect on the shadows of ambition
I once tried to ascertain 
Lame
For the mental strain
Of chasing phantoms of success 
I couldn't claim
Rain 
Pouring down upon 
The sills of my windows pain
Nearly slain
I proclaim 

God Morning
As the sun open my eyes
Seen the light in a thousand skies
God morning 
From the first breath I took
With the dawn  nearing I looked 
God morning
 All the shadows haunting my past
But you pulled them out of my path
God morning 
God morning 

It'd be ill-advised to say 
That I'm still alive today
Cause I helped in any way
From actions I displayed 
I didn't 
It's you 
that restored the well
It's your glory
That I'm gonna tell
Offered heaven
When I was raising hell
brush strokes
Of illustration
Detail
And concentration 
Outlined the abstract 
Look on the life 
That I was facing 
unveiling a new perception 
An image in need of changing
asked you to paint the canvas 
Til no more space is remaining
Your image
And I can only imagine
How empty the picture was 
Just the very thought has me saddened
your texture
Creates a pattern 
That wouldn't exist
If I didn't explore the matter
To submit to your gifts
I implore to anybody
Your mentality shifts
When you really open your heart
And reality hits
hope this message relates
Destroys 
and shatters the hate 
fabric of broken fates
Your love 
can allocate 

God Morning
As the sun open my eyes
Seen the light in a thousand skies
God morning 
From the first breath I took
With the dawn  nearing I looked 
God morning
 All the shadows haunting my past
But you pulled them out of my path
God morning 
God morning 

Silhouettes in your every word
Tracing back to your heart
Confidence 
In your grace abounds
So that we're set apart
See the spirit begets my actions
So my faith can start 
Proper pacing
This walk requires 
life is in my art
Lord I thank you
For removing incompetence 
That itch
I ain't feel it since
Understanding the consequence 
There's no gain in accomplishments
Fame is vain 
And it contradicts
Causing  blame
And it all convicts
Bringing shame to your consciousness 
But your name Lord 
It compliments













GOD MORNING

Yo, we can't be stopped. 
If we open our minds and spirit 
It expands what is possible 

We can't 
Be stopped
come on 
Ride with me
We can't 
Long as the Lord by my side with me
We can't 
Ever ever be denied
So take those lighters
Throw em up in the sky

Finally
Someone bringing the vibe back
The rhythm and beat smack
This sound like a soundtrack 
Uh(repeat) 
A sign of the times that
We changing the format 
I'm ready to combat
Yeah(repeat)
All the fakes and pretenders 
Artists posed as friends
But really just contenders
Money hungry crooks
 These Kats obsessed with looks
They sold out for success
surprised by what it took
Yes(repeat)
Internal struggle 
The real war
They bribe with false deals
Stay hoping you'll kill for
Dog eat dog means
For a get rich scheme
what's worse
It's rich nigga's
Selling hoodrat dreams
Damn(repeat) 
And it's crazier than it seems
Sabatoging our own crew
Like we running a COD team
It's raining down large nukes
That ruin the whole scene
If you caught in crossfire
They make it a small thing
Yo

We can't 
Be stopped
come on 
Ride with me
We can't 
Long as the Lord by my side with me
We can't 
Ever ever be denied
So take those lighters
Throw em up in the sky

I bet you
They going say that I'm lame
No clout
Don't chase fame
Maintain my mind frame
While most play mind games 
Make claims
Or cause flames
Call names
Express blames
Exposing 
Folks shames
Hey(repeated) 
 see my people out the slums
And not portrayed as bums
We're more than drugs and guns
Have you ever?
Really thought if given the choice 
If you took dude off the street
And you gave him a voice
Then you helped him to make a mil
And he saw how it feel
Would he go back to flipping bricks
Just to die on that hill
No(repeat) 
We got the raw end of the deal
Ain't nobody picking the ghetto 
They only murder us here
Think being thuggish is special
Constantly living in fear
aiming for glass ceilings 
should be
looking further than there
If you think I'm trying to clown
 just wanna declare 
More to life
 than what your living 
 trying to make you aware 
That

We can't 
Be stopped
come on 
Ride with me
We can't 
Long as the Lord by my side with me
We can't 
Ever ever be denied
So take those lighters
Throw em up in the sky

We can't 
Ever ever be denied
So take those lighters
Throw em up in the sky(x4

We Can't

God your love can't get enough
So please pour your light and fill me up
Cause that overflow is just enough
To refill the soul inside my cup

God(God) your love can't get enough(just to get by)
So please pour your light and fill me up(jehovah supply)
Cause that overflow is just enough(cause I know that I)
To refill the soul  inside my cup

Lord I feel it prevy
Ready
 because my feet heavy
Keep me standing steady
Landing on solid ground 
Let me 
Never ever be weary
Follow when necessary 
Let my walk never tarry
All my burdens you carry
Recognize 
Holding pride
Is double homicide
In my faith
I don't stride
It really do or die
In your love
I abide
Professing you and I
With my life
I will give
For you to
Utilize 
Man this bumping
Keep it jumping 
I'm about to show them something 
Feel the ether 
Through speaker
And get your heart pumping
Love that's better than gold
That will last when your old
Everything you were told
It was all undersold 
All the masses chilling 
Willing 
To have their cups filling
Hands up to the ceiling
Pouring until it's 
All spilling
All the light from his word
More than what we deserve
Bottomless when it's serve
And it's never reserved

God your love can't get enough
So please pour your light and fill me up
Cause that overflow is just enough
To refill the soul inside my cup

God(God) your love can't get enough(just to get by)
So please pour your light and fill me up(jehovah supply)
Cause that overflow is just enough(cause I know that I)
To refill the soul  inside my cup

Massive impact 
Hitting harder
Than atom bombs
Making contact
Emitting farther 
Than Cablecomms
Beat is jam packed
Full of verses 
Like book of psalms
Staying active 
In my purpose
Transmitting 
Through these songs
I go magilla 
Gorilla 
Godzilla 
All in your villa
Calling me lyrical killa
The thrilla 
And the vanilla 
Feelin 
The collins like
Phil
Fulfill
Whatever 
God will
Need for my piece to be still
It's Jesus Christ with the seal
Can you even fathom?
Shakauna glory
Imagine
The kind of story
You fashion
When it's manifested 
And flashing
Before your eye's 
Till then,
We need to sup
Lord share your love
Take my cup
And runneth up



God Your Love


I been holding forever
I been hanging on a cloud
Fighting through this stormy weather 
And I feel like 
It's going to drown me
With all these problems around me
Feel like I'm struggling 

Oh no oh no
I'm really nervous 
But it don't show, don't show
Inside It's feeling like I might blow, might blow
The progress I need moving too slow, too slow
I know, i know, i know
It's not the destination it's about journey
From the way my troubles hitting 
It might be a gurney 
I'm not kidding
What I'm missing 
What I'm truly yearning
Just a lot more situations 
That are less concerning 
conversation 
Feel like I been always wasting my time
My occupation 
Paper chasing
Never crossing the line
Despite me overcoming pressure I was never refined 
With all the diamonds I'm producing 
I'm still deep in the mines
(What you saying)
I just wanna make some worth of my time
got a light that I been holding
And I want it to shine
Want My children need to see me winning 
While I'm still in my prime
Not out here talking about I'm grinding
While I'm 79
(I'm being honest, listen)

I been holding forever
I been hanging on a cloud
Fighting through this stormy weather 
And I feel like 
It's going to drown me
With all these problems around me
Feel like I'm struggling

I must have really gone bananas 
Monkeys all on my back
The Paranoia settled nicely
now I'm feeling attacked
I try to keep positive 
And hope that's all I attract
But soon as something goes, a miss 
Can't seem to help but react
Yo can you tell me
Am I looney or this realer than real?
I got to see a couple hands 
If you do feel like I feel
I tend to get a little anxious 
But I'm trying to chill
Because these burdens cause me anguish 
That I'm trying to kill
God can you show me what the plan is
Cause I need a reveal 
Is my fate already damaged?
Is it already sealed?
Getting hard for me to manage
Every single ordeal
sitting at disadvantage
Tell me what is your will?
Cause I know it's necessary 
And the problems tend to vary
just ask you hold the load 
cause it's getting kind of heavy
it's weighing on my sole
Has my footing kind of scary
Know it's out of my control
But this is only temporary 

I been holding forever
I been hanging on a cloud
Fighting through this stormy weather 
And I feel like 
It's going to drown me
With all these problems around me
Feel like I'm struggling

Oh no, oh no don't let them feel you up with fear(feel like I'm struggling) 
Just know, just know, just know that God's right here(x2

Never never never let them see you G-I-VE-U-P(x4

I been holding forever
I been hanging on a cloud
Fighting through this stormy weather 
And I feel like 
It's going to drown me
With all these problems around me
(Feel like I'm strugglingx5)

Struggling Through
